CVE-2020-29605: MantisBT Incorrect Authorization in bug_actiongroup_page.php

May 24, 2022 (updated May 30, 2025)

An issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.4. Due to insufficient access-level checks, any logged-in user allowed to perform Group Actions can get access to the Summary fields of private Issues via bug_arr[]= in a crafted bug_actiongroup_page.php URL. (The target Issues can have Private view status, or belong to a private Project.)
